Hyper-lignified root systems as a carbon sink in Arabidopsis thaliana
Lignified plant cell walls represent an immense carbon sink to offset rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) due to the chemical stability and structural diversity of the bonds formed between lignin subunits, making it the slowest decomposing component of dead vegetation. This thesis explores the f...
